Practice/Clinic/Department details - the form is divided into identical sections, to enable multiple work locations to be recorded. If the Sample Taker only takes Samples at one location then only 1 section needs to be completed. 3. Training History - used by QA to record training history.. Please note it is the PCT responsibility to prompt Sample Takers when training is due and to provide it. 4. User Name and Password - If Sample Taker wants to choose their own User Name and Password, complete this section. Both need to be 6 uppercase characters, anything longer than 6 will be truncated/amended. If this section is left blank, QA will supply these.
